So, this is kind of a last minute addition, looking inside Rain's head and either learning something new, or at least confirming a suspicion you might've already had. I wasn't originally sure if I was going to come right out and state Rain's feelings, or if I would drag it out for a while. But after a few dialogue changes earlier, the other characters seem to be picking up on it, so I think it's fair to think you guys are too. So, there you have it... Rain likes Emily. And they lived happily ever aft- WAIT!
Does Emily even like Rain in that way though, or are Rain's feelings unrequited? And if Rain's not gonna make a move, does that mean this ship's sunk before even leaving port? And is everything really "just fine the way it is?" Thoughts are very welcome here. ^_^

Also, I've said this before, but I'm trying to raise money for SRS, and I'm still struggling with it. If you can help, it would be most welcome. If not, don’t worry about it. I totally understand (you don't need to feel bad or apologize if you can’t).

User comments:
A problem I'm rather familiar with. When a friend comes out as being a viable relationship option, but then there's the fretting about whether or not they'd like YOU in that way. I think the only truly safe way to deal with it is to keep it quiet. But that said, you might miss out on a good opportunity. I'm in that zone right now.
The grey border bubbles are thought bubbles. Rain's essentially just narrating through most of this page. The square bubbles meanwhile are the other line of the phone though, in case that's what you were referring to (since it also has a grey border).
Both Emily and Rain have stated that they're not in the best position to be thinking about romance right now. Emily made it pretty clear it's not the best idea since she's pregnant, and while it MIGHT have been more of a cop-out on her part for Gavin's sake, Rain decided not to pursue Ana stating that she had enough to worry about with transitioning and all.
On that note, right now they also both need support for their current situations, and they're each other's best support (in Emily's case, she still thinks Rain and Ky are the only ones who know; can't remember if Maria admitted she knows...). If they mix in relationship drama, it can make things unnecessarily complicated and end pretty messy... It would just change their current dynamic too much.
Though that's only because of the current situation. If the flame's still there after the baby's born and Emily has more safely guaranteed support systems in place, and Rain's started transition, then they should give it a shot.
just a little splendid observation spoken in the words of a mental person :P
I really hope that lots of younger people end up reading it. I would have loved to have seen this much LGBTA representation as I was growing up!
(Also, does the comic or Jocelyn have a tumblr or anything? If so, I'd love to follow it! Awesome comic, one of my absolute favourites in the world.)
I do have a Tumblr. You can find it here:

It's mostly just the regular comic pages you'd see here anyway, but there's occasionally some extra art or random thoughts posted there. In addition, there is an Ask Blog for presenting questions to pretty much any character in Rain, but I admit I haven't done any in a while and am crazy backlogged on it at the moment. All that said, you're more than welcome to follow me. ^_^
